A tree 20 to 25 m high the branches, petioles and infioresence 

 somewhat shining, minutely and very densely brown-lepidote. Leaves 

 alternate, odd-pinnate, 4- or 5-jugate, 20 to 25 cm long, the rachis and 

 petiolules minutely and densely lepidote; leaflets opposite, brown when 

 dry, chartaceous, oblong to elliptic-oblong, somewhat shining, deciduously 

 lepidote on both surfaces, 5 to 10 cm long, 2.5 to 4.5 cm wide, the 

 terminal one sometimes larger, equilateral, the lateral ones somewhat 

 inequilateral; nerves 10 to 12 on each side of the midrib, not prominent, 

 the reticulations fme, rather lax; petiolules 8 mm long or less. Panicles 

 axillary, peduncled, nearly as long as the leaves, branched in the upper 

 two-thirds, the rachis, branches, branchlets and calyces minutely and 

 densely brown-lepidote, shining, the lower primary branches 7 cm long, 

 the upper ones shorter. Flowers minute, racemosely arranged on the 

 ultimate branchlets, their pedicels 1 to 2 mm long. Calyx about 1 mm 

 long, densely lepidote, its teeth broad, rounded. Petals about 1 mm long, 

 glabrous. Staminal tube 0.5 mm long, truncate or obscurely toothed 

 free, glabrous ; anthers 5, borne on the upper part of the tube, included.
